I went to college, though I didn't take many writing courses.

Even if you only want to write science fiction, you should also read mysteries, poetry, mainstream literature, history, biography, philosophy, and science.

I now have to find a reason to write, every single day.

If you can find collaborators whose strengths compliment your own, the result can be more than the sum of its authors.

I've experienced writer's block, but never for more than a few days.

Science fiction readers probably have the gene for novelty, and seem to enjoy a cascade of invention as much as a writer enjoys providing one.

Genre labels are useful only insofar as they help you find an audience.
